ACOTAR – Cannonball Read 17

Not bad, not good

A court of thorns and roses by Sarah Maas

The book challenge – read some romance. The other book challenge – read something banned. All I knew about A Court of Thorns and Roses is that it is a romance, highly banned, and book snobs hate it. Presumably because of TikTok and sexism. All that is good enough for me. Feyre is basically a hunter Cinderella for her hilariously awful family. But then she accidentally kills a faerie and another faerie, Tamlin, takes her to the faerie land to be given kisses and […]

Better than Book 1

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas

(Since this is a sequel, there will be spoilers for the end of Book 1 in here) My review of the first book was titled “Better Than Fourth Wing,” and this one was miles better than Book 1, so I guess maybe I actually liked this one? So Feyre has conquered Amarantha, rescued Tamlin and the rest of the Fae, and is now back in the Spring Court trying to reconcile all of this good news with the very, very bad things she had to […]

Better than Fourth Wing

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas

The story: I think this has been reviewed here a million times, but here goes: Feyre kills a wolf who’s actually a faerie in disguise, and another faerie prince type guy named Tamlin comes calling to collect his revenge. He takes her back to Faerie and then just kind of leaves her alone in his giant castle. Eventually they fall in love (I guess? I am skeptical), she learns more about what’s really happening in Faerie, and decides she has to try to save Tamlin […]

To know the darkness will always remain, but how you choose to face it…that’s the most important part.

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

I blame Instagram. Over the summer, several influence-y women half my age screamed at me from my phone about how great Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) book series was. I was influenced. This is the fifth book in the Court of Thorns and Roses series, so proceed with caution if you haven’t read yet but want to. And you do want to read these if you are at all a fan of paranormal romances, sexy fairy shenanigans, and magic-y places. First, I need to confess […]

My first post of the year for a book that made me need to write a review

A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas

So, it’s March! And this is my first review! Which tells you a lot about how my reading has been going this year. I hit a major slump just after Christmas (and in fact, still haven’t finished reading the book I was really into at that time). So I picked a book that I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy, but was pretty sure I would have Thoughts on: A Court of Silver Flames, by Sarah J. Maas. I’m trying to make this one relatively spoiler […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
